COMMUNITY FUNDING 2018

Cranberry Festival Community Funding is available to not-for-profit associations centered in, or benefiting those of, the Muskoka Lakes Township. Preference is given to those groups that have youth and /or community values at their core. Groups must be non-religious and apolitical in nature. Preference is given to those groups with proven participation or involvement in the Bala Cranberry Festival.

Monies will be awarded based on need, community benefit and the effectiveness of those funds on the scale of the proposed project or plan. All awards are given on an individual assessment and are at the sole unfettered discretion of the Cranberry Festival Board.

We were happy to disperse in December 2017 over $41,000 to 27 local groups, providing much needed funding to programs that benefit Muskoka Lakes Township and its residents. This money is from admission sales & Saturday Night Concert Ticket profits. It is estimated that through initiatives including paid parking lots and local rental fees another $6,000 was generated for local community groups.

Applications for the 2018 Cranberry Festival season are accepted from October 1st - November 15th 2018
